SubsidieMeestersUsing mineral carriers for pheromones to apply the ecologically friendly mating disruption method for protecting crops against pests on a large scale
Lithos' Micro Dispenser Technology uses natural zeolite to deliver targeted pheromone treatments for effective, safe, and sustainable pest control in agriculture.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Over many years, Lithos developed and patented its Micro Dispenser Technology: a method where specific pheromones (brand name “pherolit®”) are applied on a natural mineral as a carrier. Lithos extracts and processes the high-quality mineral clinoptilolite-zeolite from its own source to optimize the unique properties in binding and releasing pheromones.
Application Process
For the application in the field, the pheromone of a particular pest is applied on fine-milled, treated zeolite and dispersed in water. The sprayable formulation can be used with any conventional spraying device. Using fully natural ingredients, the innovative technology provides efficient and safe plant protection.
Advantages
This results in a unique set of advantages for customers:
- Sprayable, easy to use & affordable
- Safe for users
- Slow release -> long term effect
- Target specific, does not affect other organisms
- Derived from nature, no harmful residues
- Pests cannot develop resistancies
- Suitable for conventional & organic farming
